Ekso Bionics EksoNR
FDA-cleared neurorehab exoskeleton with adaptive SmartAssist for stroke and spinal cord injury recovery.
Cyberdyne HAL Medical Exoskeleton
Our Verdict: Revolutionary bio-signal technology. The most scientifically advanced neurorehab exoskeleton available.
The Cyberdyne HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb) Medical Exoskeleton is the world’s first treatment robot to use bioelectrical signals. Sensors on the skin detect faint nerve signals that the brain sends to muscles, and HAL responds by assisting the intended movement. This creates a feedback loop between brain and body that promotes neurological recovery.
Unlike exoskeletons that follow pre-programmed motions, HAL responds to the patient’s own intention to move, making it a true neurorehabilitation device. Clinical studies in Japan and Europe demonstrate that HAL therapy can restore voluntary movement in patients previously considered permanently disabled. It is the only exoskeleton with medical device approval in Japan and the EU.
